Authors Sue NVIDIA for Copyright Infringement
Like other tech companies, NVIDIA has also seen significant legal pushback from copyright holders in response to its training methods. This includes authors, who, in various lawsuits, accused tech companies of training their models on pirated books.
There also may be an element of trying legally offload responsibility. If you’re paying someone else for access, you have the insurance to say you didn’t know you were getting pirated material, you paid for it and assumed that was then licensed!
According to the complaint, Anna’s Archive then warned Nvidia that its library was illegally acquired and maintained. Because the site previously wasted time on other AI companies, the pirate library asked NVIDIA executives if they had internal permission to move forward.
Downloading the torrents is one thing. Actually leeching stuff another. At least Meta seems to have had some difficulties due to the low number of seeders.
Oh, yeah, I guess. Every time I’ve used torrents to get the books it hasn’t been very slow. But I imagine when you’re downloading terabytes of books it’s a very different situation
Aside from the speed issue, AA also has an impressive collection of metadata that isn’t always captured within the files themselves. They also have metadata for a ton of books that aren’t in their collection(yet).

Ahhhh
For me personally I don’t have a coherent opinion

They can just drop like $5 to Anna’s archive and then download 30tb

I’m definitely not arguing NVIDIA didn’t know what they were doing. They probably didn’t think their internal emails would get leaked.
Very funny
In the article, they mention you can get ultra fast access - if you pay Anna’s for that.
Yeah I don’t understand why they couldn’t just download the torrents with all of the website’s books and be done with it.
they wanted high-speed database access
